<DT><B>Description</B><DD>
bar draws a filled-in, rectangular, two-dimensional bar. The bar is filled using the current fill pattern and fill color. bar does not outline the bar; to draw an outlined two-dimensional bar, use bar3d with depth equal to 0.
<P>
The upper left and lower right corners of the rectangle are given by (left, top) and (right, bottom), respectively. The coordinates refer to pixels.
